There once was a lad Born to a man Who knew no right from wrong And all along he'd sing this song "Why must I go on" He stands in the back of a room smoking crack Rocks alone with a smile on his face Knowing full well that he's going to hell Not just going but gone without a trace There once was a lass Born to an ass Who knew no right from wrong And all along she'd sing this song "Why must I go on" She stands in the black of the alley with a babylon Hanging from the end of a chain Sneaking up behind yeah to do some crime Snatch your purse but she'll also smash your brains ♪ He stands in the back of a room smoking crack Rocks alone with a smile on his face Knowing full well that he's going to hell Not just going but gone without a trace She stands in the black of the alley with a babylon Hanging from the end of a chain Sneaking up behind yeah to do some crime Snatch your purse but she'll also smash your brains
